Sexsual diferentiation of morphological characteristics and motor abilities of 11-year-old children

The aim of the research is to analyze the sample of 228 eleven-year-old children of both sexes (125 boys and 103 girls) using analysis of variance (MANOVA / ANOVA), and establish sexual differentiation in 12 morphological and 18 motor variables. The results showed that among boys and girls in the system of morphological and motor variables there are multivariate statistically significant differences in arithmetic means at p=00. The boys had better value in 10 out of 12 morphological variables, and the girls in two, whereas the boys had better value in 11 out of 18 motor variables, and the girls in 7 variables. The conclusion is that in morphological area of children at this age there is just a start of the development process based on the gender differentiation and genetic determination, while the sexual differentiation of the motor area is more expressed with boys.
